Utility-scale solar construction company Sunstall has launched SunRobi, a robotic-assisted solar installation platform designed to accelerate, standardize and de-risk large-scale solar construction.

SunRobi is the digital and operational home of RAIS (Robotic Assisted Installation of Solar) — a technology-agnostic framework that integrates robotic-assisted equipment, GPS-guided precision, AI-enabled site intelligence and field-proven construction expertise into a deployable solar installation value chain.
“At Sunstall, we have always believed that solar construction must evolve as fast as the energy transition itself,” said Helge Biernath, President and CEO of Sunstall. “SunRobi is more than a website — it is the platform for our RAIS vision, where intelligent machines, GPS precision, AI-driven planning and real-world construction experience come together to build better solar power plants.”
SunRobi brings together a growing ecosystem of robotic-assisted and digitally enabled construction capabilities, including:
- GPS-guided, operator-controlled pile driving that improves placement accuracy and eliminates traditional stringline layout
- Machine-assisted material handling and logistics support
- Robotic-assisted hardware and module installation workflows
- Digital terrain mapping and pre-construction design validation to identify constructability issues prior to mobilization
- Data-driven quality control and documentation from early construction stages
While many of these systems remain manned and operator-controlled, SunRobi focuses on how robotics, automation and software intelligence augment human capability, reduce rework and increase consistency across large-scale sites.
Rather than promoting a single proprietary robot or fully autonomous system, SunRobi is intentionally technology agnostic. The platform is designed to integrate best-in-class robotic-assisted equipment, GPS systems and software tools into Sunstall’s construction workflows.
This approach allows SunRobi to adapt as technologies mature — supporting multiple equipment providers, site conditions and deployment strategies without locking developers or EPCs into a single solution.
SunRobi is not about replacing construction crews. It is about supporting skilled operators with better tools. By reducing physical strain, improving layout accuracy, eliminating manual stringline processes and surfacing design issues earlier, robotic-assisted workflows help crews work safer and smarter — while remaining fully in control of equipment and outcomes.
“Sunstall’s role is clear,” added Beirnath. “We are the integrator — bridging robotics innovators with real-world construction. Our job is to turn advanced technology into solutions that are deployable, bankable, and repeatable in the field.”
SunRobi serves as a central destination for developers, EPCs, technology partners and investors to explore how robotic-assisted solar construction moves from concept to execution.
